you have to create the bombs same as potions and oils

first and easiest to make are Samum probably , celadine flowers are common enough and saltpetr can be scavenged in loot bags

I suspect any frame rate issues will be patched soon.

okay, thanks. i'll have a look later when i finish work at 3.

bombs would make witcher life a bit easier, especially against mobds of ghouls etc.

So people who have not played 1 & 2. This worth the buy?

RaMDOM · 21 May 2015 at 09:50

Can anyone tell me; for the PS4, how do you download and access the free DLC?

You get it from the PSN, then you can buy it in game, not sure who from though at this point.

I would say so, I don't feel like I've (although probably have) missed out on anything. The story made it feel like a new game with no previous.

One gripe I have though is I find the inventory hard to see when sitting 7-8 feet away from the TV. Nothing wrong with my eyes, just seems very geared towards a PC where you sit closer.

Also struggling with one of the treasure hunt quests I found on White Orchard notice board. It just tells me to "read the letter I found", but I've read everything I own and the quest just doesn't progress.

indeed. i'm also struggling to see the text on screen and often find myself squinting to read item descriptions. although, the subtitles seem fine.

im sat about 6 feet away from my TV.

Just on Reddit and thought i would share this. I don't have the game yet to confirm but just incase guys

- Save file can become corrupt by using the suspend/resume feature.

Loving this, but man is it difficult at times, and I'm finding it a bit overwhelming too. The combat is unforgiving but incredibly satisfying, you really need to be patient, keep moving, and do your research on the people you're fighting. Very in depth.

Nice picnic blanket.

Ahhh I see, I'll have to check that out, see if the armour I currently have is better or worse.

That's the problem I had on release day, put my Xbox into standby and when I came back it wouldn't load my saves, or even the title menu at one point.

Thankfully hard reboot of the console solved it and nothing was lost.

Plenty of loot to be had at the battlefield by the way, I picked up about 30 axes and 10-12 swords to net a nice profit. It's up at the top right of the first area.

Davey_Pitch · 21 May 2015 at 12:54

Guys, just a reminder to keep story and major enemy stuff/tactics in spoiler tags please. I don't think anyone has posted anything serious yet, so this is just a heads up

Windle · 21 May 2015 at 13:16

Also, remember. Not all interesting things have question marks on the map

Just found out that you can switch between signs/spells while parrying (holding LT) by pressing right or left on the D-Pad. Mind blown.

Stewy · 21 May 2015 at 14:21

I am currently looting everything I see alchemy / crafting-wise in the hope it will all be useful in the future.

The only slightly annoying thing is how quickly everything breaks and how expensive it all is to repair - I don't think I've ever had more than 500g.

So I caved and bought the official guide book.

So so so much content, it makes skyrim and gtav feel small.
